Vindicator - spear should instant cast

[livstrid.5023]

- hello I only play pve, but when ever I use vindi elite the spear casting dude is super slow and hit 20% of all cast times, - i mean - when ever would I use that elite skill if Im faster running?? - instant cast should be on par aka summon

The only change spear needs is its 2k range back, otherwise it's an absolute belter of a move

Cool move but inconvenient to use. 

[Virdo.1540]

it needs its bigger range back, coupled with faster projectile speed.

[Eekasqueak.7850]

I'd be fine with just more range too, things move out of the way too often.

It should finish downed enemies on hit.

Or just give it its range back.

Yeah this was a really out of touch change on Anet’s part, just like a majority of that patch (and also completely unsurprising as always)

I'd rather see that skill with a -6 cost over time and archemorus launching the spear to your target every 4-5 secs .

Archemorus is the only legend who has no over time cost energy , making it a bit weird to manage energy on it .

On all other legend you can actively play a cost over time skill and come to near 0 energy when the legend swap is ready , making it very efficient as support (with ventari bubble or soulcleave summit) or damage wise , i don't feel like i am doing more damage with archemorus than with shiro/dwarf.

For the range i agree in pve for a 2000 range , but for wvw and pvp 2000 is a bit too much , can catch of guard very easily.
